There Is Power In A Union chords by Joe Hill

G                           C
Would you have freedom from Wage slavery,
D                        G
Then join in the grand Industrial band;
                          C
Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free,
D                                G
Then come, do your share, like a man.


(Chorus)
         G                          C              G
There is power, there is power in a band of workingmen,
          D             G
When they stand hand in hand,
                                         C             G
That's a power, that's a power That must rule in every land?"
      D              G
One Industrial Union Grand.

G                          C
Would you have mansions of gold in the sky,
    D                G
and live in a shack, way in the back?
                           C
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly,
    D                             G
And starve here with rags on your back?


   G                        C
If you've had 'nuff of the "blood of the lamb"
     D                   G
Then join in the grand industrial band;
                            C
If, for a change, you would have eggs and ham,
     D                           G
Then come, do your share, like a man.


G                       C
If you like sluggers to beat off your head,
     D                   G
Then don't organize, all unions despise.
                    C
If you want nothing before you are dead,
      D                             G
Shake hands with your boss and look Wise.


G                          C
Come, all ye workers, from every land,
D                         G
Come, join in the grand industrial band;
                          C
Then we our share of this earth shall demand.
     D                         G
Come on! Do your share, like a man.
